Watch: Rockies win home opener on walk-off grand slam

The Colorado Rockies won their home opener for 2024 in thrilling fashion.

The Rockies beat the Tampa Bay Rays 10-7 on Friday at Coors Field in Denver, Colo. on a walk-off grand slam by Ryan McMahon.

The Rockies had led 6-2 entering the ninth inning, but allowed the Rays to score five runs to take a 7-6 lead. Apparently that was just by design so Colorado could increase the drama for their fans.

The Rockies drew three walks to begin the bottom of the ninth, loading the bases. After a Kris Bryant strikeout, McMahon came up and got a slow breaking ball over the middle. He lifted the first pitch he saw to the right field stands to end the game.
